2-Hour Old Town and Jewish Quarter Tour in Prague
Description
Prague’s imaginary heart is the Old Town, and at its heart lies Old Town Square with the Cathedral of Our Lady before Týn and the Old Town Hall with the Astronomical Clock - the smartwatch of its day. From here it is only a short walk to the Jewish Town, which is probably the most mysterious part of Prague. Here you’ll learn more about the Golem and the turbulent history of the Jewish community and its inhabitants.

Alena was very attentive and made the experience fun and easy to follow
Alena was a very engaging and thorough tour guide. She gave a very comprehensive overview of Prague and it's history. The pacing of the tour was excellent. We did not stand in one place too long, so my feet never become tired. I highly recomend this tour.,
My experience was amazing out tour guide Stefan was very nice and well knowledged about the city. I learned a lot about old Prague and Jewish quater.
Petra is a pretty good guide, tell us a lot of interesting details of the city. We book this tour with Prague visitors pass, and I think the experience with the pass is wonderful. The whole system operates really well. You can get almost any experience you want with the pass, and it is economical. The design of the app is awesome, full of information yet really clear. The staff in visitor information center are all kind and helpful, one of them was an exchange student to our country Taiwan and share useful information of Prague in our language enthusiastically. Over all, my experience in Prague is wonderful, and I fall in love with Czech.
Very informative and thorough guide!
We booked this tour using our the Prague Visitors Pass. Our guide, Jana, was very knowledgeable, friendly, considerate and fun. It was during a heat wave and she made every effort to get us into cooler or shadier spots while still keeping a positive demeanor.
The guide was very friendly, explained the history of the city, and took us through the less frequented streets; I highly recommend the tour to get a general idea of the city's history and to understand how to navigate the city.
Interesting walking tour around the Jewish quarter from the outside. Jana was really informative as our guide.
A fabulous tour with Matej. He was very knowledgeable on the history of Prague. He gave us interesting facts of the old and new town. He was very polite and did not rush us in any way. The tour was at the correct pace for everyone, even on the hottest day. I would definitely recommend this tour with Matej. He was a great guide.
Petra was very friendly and informative. Very hot day to take tour but Petra managed to find us shades.
